House, 85 Hampton Road is a single storey limestone and iron house constructed in the Federation Bungalow style of Architecture. The walls are limestone with tuck pointed brick quoins. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with corrugated iron. There are two rendered corbelled chimneys and chimney pots evident.
